PMD 3.6, a tool that scans Java source code and highlights potential problems, has been released. The biggest new feature is support for checking JSP and JSF code. PMD is integrated with a number of IDEs, including Eclipse and Emacs.

There are many bug fixes, including a major memory leak fix, and there are five new rules and improvements to many of the current rules. The full changelog is online at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=405661&group_id=56262, as well as the downloadable release.

There's also a book called "PMD Applied" available for PMD users (http://pmdapplied.com/).
